InvestOps Asia 2026
August 19 - 20, 2026
One Farrer Hotel, Singapore
Asia's Most Senior Gathering of Buy Side Investment Operations Leaders
Connect with COOs and Heads of Investment Operations from the top Asset Managers, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds and Insurance Firms from Asia.
InvestOps Asia 2026 returns for its third year as the definitive gathering for Middle and Back Office leaders navigating the next era of investment operations. As operating models evolve under pressure from digitalisation, AI, regulatory complexity, and private market growth, this year’s agenda is built on in-depth industry research to tackle your most urgent challenges and unlock new sources of operational alpha. Across two focused days, connect with leading COOs and Heads of Investment Operations through keynotes, interactive panels, real-world case studies, and peer-led roundtables designed to move beyond theory and into execution.
You’ll gain practical insights on:
- COO Priorities - How COOs are transforming operations from cost centres into strategic value drivers, optimising processes, strengthening operational risk frameworks, and embedding technology and governance to enable scalable growth.
- Actionable Technology & AI Strategies – How to move past experimentation and into implementation, exploring how agentic AI, intelligent automation, tokenisation, and modern data platforms are being deployed today to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and enhance data integrity.
- Data, Digital Assets & Emerging Infrastructure – How to establish a robust data foundation and integrate digital assets, tokenisation, and next-generation infrastructure across alternatives, private assets, and total portfolio strategies.
- Regulation & Market Evolution – How to stay ahead of global and regional regulatory shifts, cross-border compliance requirements, and operational complexities in high-growth markets such as China and India.
- Future-Ready Talent & Operating Culture - Redefining operational roles, build AI literacy, enhance cross-functional collaboration, and design human-centric operating models that support smarter decision-making at scale.
